Osaka Garden and Jackson Park

A few years ago, when I first got the scanner, I took some pictures while skiing in Jackson Park. On January 27, 2004, I went back with the digital camera and was lucky enough to have the sun peek out several times.

The Osaka Garden is a gift to Chicago from its sister city in Japan and is especially beautiful in the snow.
